The excitement surrounding Allu Arjun and Lokesh Kanagaraj’s ambitious collaboration, tentatively titled AA23, appears to be entering a new phase. Industry reports suggest that the team has planned a large-scale trial shoot in Mumbai, with Allu Arjun expected to travel to the city to participate in the exercise. The development comes amid increasing curiosity around one of Indian cinema’s most anticipated combinations.

Unlike a conventional look test or promotional photo session, the reported activity is being described as a full-fledged trial shoot designed to test the visual grammar, styling approach and technical scale envisioned for the project. Sources indicate that the exercise is being mounted in a much bigger format than standard pre-production rehearsals.

AA23 has already generated enormous anticipation ever since the collaboration between Allu Arjun and Lokesh Kanagaraj was officially announced. Backed by Mythri Movie Makers with music by Anirudh Ravichander, the film is positioned as one of the biggest projects currently in development.

Interestingly, this update also arrives after recent speculation surrounding the project’s status, with multiple reports reiterating that the film remains active and continues to move ahead through scripting and pre-production stages. If the Mumbai schedule indeed goes as planned, fans may finally get the first indications of the scale and visual identity Lokesh Kanagaraj is preparing for Allu Arjun’s next cinematic chapter.
